September 19, 2022

 We drew and printed at Henry Morales' studio in Albuquerque:



"String legs on a figure"

after the contrast was enhanced



"Upper torso of string figure drawing"


"Human figure drawn in transparent string"


UPDATE (Oct 2nd):  I further altered my tainted AI drawing with the new Text 2 Dream" feature in Deep Dream Generator, using the prompt "Pencil drawing of a sitting lady":

We printed this in Henry's studio
immediately after the drawing session


Other Printing

After the drawing session Henry Morales supervised some printmaking in his studio:

on Henry's letterpress press




Rich altered a photo of two of his grandsons with Deep Dream Generator, and I further altered it to be engraved in linoleum on the laser cutter:

print on paper

Henry also printed some t-shirts with linocuts that Rich made, for Rich's younger grand children:

AI MAYA HAND


I created a fake Maya Hand in AI using Midjourney after asking for three variations: 


I chose this version
after three iterations of variations


First variation:
"mayan glyphs of a hand in coloring book style"


Second variation:
"mayan glyphs of a hand in coloring book style"



Third variation:
"mayan glyphs of a hand in coloring book style"


Henry cheated by adding some dots to the Maya laser engraved linoleum in the horizontal lines.  While they didn't print as strongly as we anticipated, this approach did give us ideas for future prints:
